Some very major changes were made to FUDforum in recent while, once I am done with all those changes and feel that the code is stable and finalized I will sync FUDforum (standalone) source with the ones in eGW.

My development server is currently offline due to hardware issues, so for the next week or so I cannot do much. Past that point I intend to rapidly move towards release of FUDforum 2.6.10, which should finalize/stablize the code base. At that point I will begin updating FUDforum in EgroupWare.

I'm also looking forward to a current build of the latest FUDforum in eGroupware. Our company would like to search for words with 3 characters, but all 3 character searches come up negative. I saw this was fixed with the standalone FUDforum, but the build with the fix still hasn't been incorporated into the egroupware version of FUDforum

Another "me too". Have been using egroupware (1.0.0.006) for +-3 months now, and keep on discovering new bugs in fudforum. I finally realised that its fudforum version (2.6.0) is very old, and the bugs I've discovered have all been fixed already...

Is the "upgrade" from fudforum 2.6.0 to 2.6.12 as simple as just copying the new source files over the old ones, or are there also DB table changes etc. that would need to be made? If so, is there a safe way of dumping the entire forum contents/users/ratings/settings etc. then making new fudforum tables and new source (within egroupware structure) then re-importing all the fudforum data?

I really want to upgrade my fudforum... It looks to be a great system, but 2.6.0 has lots of broken functionality (notifications, attachments, figuring out unread posts etc.)

The forum code updates on any large scale has not happened yet, there were a few minor fixes included inside this release. But the sync between standalone FUDforum 2.6.12 and eGW's FUDforum is still very much a work in progress.

I see this topic and I do not want to be insistent. But It is my problem:

I've installed eGroupware for my company and activated some modules like messaging, address book, infolog, ...

I tried classical forum and fudForum and this last were my choice because it seemed powerfull and pretty.

Unfortunately, the 0.0.1 (sic!) version of eGroupWare (2.6.0) is very buggy. I've got a lot of unhappy sql errors, that can't be anticipated (different between users, for example). Second, these errors are not showed so the only thing we see outside the error log is a white screen.

Consistency checks and other fixes do not give any result.

My boss is a jurist and for him, an sql error is just some kind of ugly pink and purple strange beast

In these conditions, I just cannot go on with this great tool for the moment.

So this is my question: you plan for a few weeks to synchronize the fudForum sources with the eGroupWare module. Have you got some roadmap to do this? My company can wait for one or two weeks but not more...

Is there anything I can do to help? Does the eGW fudforum code differ significantly from the normal fudforum code? Could one not do a diff between fudforum 2.6.0 and eGW fudforum 2.6.0, and then apply that "patch" to fudforum 2.6.12 to get a starting point for eGW fudforum 2.6.12?

If you think this is helpful, I can run comparisons on all the files and post them to the same place.

Just FYI with respect to redline results:

I always compare the old document to the new document so anything that is blue and double-underlined has been added in the newer document. Anything red and struckout has been deleted in the newer document. Anything green has been moved. See the report at the bottom of the redline results for more information.

What you've compared were the template compiled files and not original sources (.tmpl, .t ) files which were used to generate the result. There are also various database storage specific changes etc...

Hmm . . . I went to the ForumDataFiles location on my server to the src directory. All the files in that directory end with .t (not .tmpl). I did the same thing for eGroupWare. Then I compared, for example, index.php.t (from eGroupWare) to index.php.t (from FUDForum 2.6.13RC1).

I can compare the .tmpl files if you like but the reason I did not was I have made modifications to the template files and recompiled them via the theme builder, so they would no longer be "out-of-the-box" and not a good candidate for comparison.

If there is another location where I can find the source files, please let me know and I can compare the appropriate files.

I want to see this as well, but want to suggest that we should contribute more to the project. For example, the documentation for setting up fudforum in egroupware would be improved with simplified instructions, faqs, and best practices. I'm going to start a "Manual" documentation thread where I hope we can all show our appreciation for the development work on fudforum for egroupware.

But the actual version of fudforum is 2.6.0, wich is IMHO totally bugged and unusable in production.

So before doing any manual, i would be pleased to deploy a newer version of fudforum in egroupware...

Someone talked about mid-june and I do not see anything. My question is actually: is fudforum being refactored to be easilly deployed under egroupware, and, in this case I would be pleased to contribute to docs. OR, isn't it the case and I will scratch it from my server and seek about another solution.

I'm not even asking for a date. I just wanna know if the egroupware packaging is in progress or not.
